BTS V is opening up about a harsh aftereffect of his military service — he can’t sleep through even the slightest noise anymore. Fans are worried and furious over the toll military enlistment has taken on him.
After his recent viral trip to Paris and being spotted at a club with actor Park Bo Gum, V went live to chat with fans. He revealed that, since serving in the military, his sleep habits are seriously disrupted.

Actually I used to be able to sleep deeply, but now even a little bit of noise will make me wide awake. I don’t know if it’s because of military service.
V explained this even interfered with his rest at a hotel, leaving him exhausted. His admission quickly went viral, sparking fan outrage over the mental and physical cost of mandatory enlistment.
Fan reactions on Twitter:

Taehyung says he wakes up at 6:30 and does the military role call (out of habit) at his home before having breakfast
